Yeah, but it would be nice to meet them later on in the tournament, like in the final.

Fuck off, don't want a repeat of last world cup. That shit double the average blood pressure in this country by at least 2 times. I was watching it with a large group of students at my student halls and as soon as that final whistle blew there wasn't a single cheer but rather a very large collective sigh of relief.

In saying that, don't wanna play them in the quarters and lose and have a repeat of 2007...

Might not have to rule SA out so easily I think. Will be interesting to see how they go in the quarters.

US didn't name a strong team apparently - decided that SA would be going nuts so sacrificed this game and are planning to play their best side against Japan.

SA has definitely improved though. They really got lucky that their remaining pool games were easy. Gave the team a chance to gell without getting nailed by some outfit like Australia. Now they've got a whole 9 days before their next match...
